By the way, are those ancient freaks still on the place those broken-down hotel employees who were your uncle's sole experiment in philanthropy?" "Torrence assures me that they are all very much there."
You heartless rascal! What do you mean by that?" "I beg pardon, sir. I mean to say, he could sit in the boat 'ouse and twiddle 'is thumbs at the elements, sir. Trust Mr. Poopendyke to keep out of the rain." "In any event, he is still waiting there for us, wet or dry. He and the two big Schmicks." I took a moment for thought.
There was ever some place for a man to go; and there were three of them, and they could talk to one another. But here, unless La Signorina was about and she had an odd way of disappearing she, Kitty, had to twiddle her thumbs or talk to herself, for she could understand nothing these people, kindly enough in their way, said to her.
"We don't know anything about it, but that is no reason why we should sit back and twiddle our thumbs and start at shadows."

"I say, old thing," said Archie to Reggie, "this is a bit thick, you know. No purse will stand this drain." Reggie considered the matter. His face seemed drawn under the mental strain. "Don't nod again," he advised. "If you aren't careful, you get into the habit of it. When you want to bid, just twiddle your fingers. Yes, that's the thing. Twiddle!" He sighed drowsily.

"But I should have thought your opinion would have been very much the same as mine. I never expected you'd want Magda to sit down and twiddle her thumbs till Michael chose to come back to her." Lady Arabella sighed. "I don't. Not really.
True, they got their holidays; true, they had more social life a point that might well be raised at Becket: Holidays and social life for men on the soil! But and suddenly Felix thought of the long, long holiday that was before the laborer Tryst. 'Twiddle his thumbs' in the words of the little humanitarian twiddle his thumbs in a space twelve feet by seven!
For recreation he could twiddle his thumbs and speculate on the thoughts which must agitate the minds of the generals.
